Prologue

    I never liked planes.

    Of course, i never told anyone either. This was my little secret because if my mother had known I hated flying, she would have never let me go on the plane. She thought this was what I wanted. Technically, it was. I just didn't want the plane ride.

    Finally, I was getting away. After eighteen years of living in the same small town, i was finally going to the big city. It had always been my dream, from the time i was ten. To get away and never come back. Not because I wanted to get away from my parents, but because i wanted to get away from them.

    Resting my head on the back of my seat, i raised the volume on my music so I couldn't hear the kids screaming that they didn't want to go see grandma. They wanted to stay home. This made me smile. Home. The word had so many possibilites. When I had looked it up in the dictionary, after the night Wes used it, i had been so confused. There were so many meanings to the simpliest word ever! It could mean a place where one lives, a dwelling place, a physical structure, the place you grew up, and so on. However, at the very end of that list there was one definition that stuck out to me. An environment offering security and happiness. When i read that, i realized that those six words were the true definition of home.

    And that's where I was going. I was going home. I had never been there before, but I knew it was home. I knew because I would be away from the liars of my past. Liars like my teachers. Phil. Naomi. Charolette. Liz. Jordan. Each name peirced my heart, betrayal coated with deceit and hate. I told myself that I was gone from therm. Away. But that didn't matter. I could still hear their lies in my head, no matter what I did.

    It all began when I was just a kid, when I was told a lie. From there on, it never stopped.

    "Everything's okay. We were just argueing. Nothing more."   But it had been more. Much more.

    "You'll just love it here. I know you will." But I had hated it.

     "Of course I wouldn't do that." But you had.

     "I'm sorry." 

    But you were never sorry, were you?

It's alright, although length is something you could use. I really liked the use of the dictionary term you had there, I felt it fitted perfectly and really lifted up that part. The intro into it wasn't brilliant, but it wasn't exactly poor either, sort of in the middle. It's sort of overused that sort of intro now, but you still branched out on it well like others don't seem to. Also, 'argueing' doesn't actually have the e in it, so a little error there. If you use Microsoft Word, the spell checker is actually useful in some places, and if not, there's always little add-ons you can download which give your browser a spell checker. Well, anyhow, keep this going, and I'll try to keep reading if time deems me to do so. ^^
